71 QUAKER RD Princeton, NJ 08540

Drift off to the symphony of rushing water and rustling leaves. Then rise to a view so inspiring that just a few deep breaths out on the deck is a rejuvenating experience. Sited on 2.4 acres above Stony Brook, this house is completely enveloped in nature with stone garden walls and pathways adding to the enchanting, cottage-in-the-woods feel. Surprisingly, it's also a quick jaunt into town or to Quakerbridge Road for myriad shopping opportunities. Inside, hardwood floors and a corner fireplace welcome you into the living room, while a wood-burning stove sparks conversation in the dining room. The adjoining kitchen has a 6-burner Viking cooktop and hood, 2 sinks and wraparound water views. Valuable storage space is close-at-hand in the hard-working laundry room. Wide sliders on two sides keep the family room bright, while floor-to-ceiling bookshelves show off treasured belongings. One of 3 total bedrooms, the lofty master suite takes its cues from the surroundings with natural wood beam accents and a sky-lit bathroom sheathed in stone. This property is in a Category 1 stream corridor.
